No-Win, No-Fee

Military Claims Support

If you left the military after May 1987 and suffer noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) or non-freezing cold injury (NFCI), our team of client support Veterans and expert law firms can guide you through your military injury claim to help secure the compensation you deserve.

We are Veterans for Veterans

We are a group of United Kingdom Armed Forces veterans who assist fellow service personnel in claiming compensation for noise-induced hearing loss where the Armed Forces did not provide adequate hearing protection.

We’ve experienced the same training and combat challenges as you. We have selected a group of professional legal experts, with a long and proven track record in dealing with military injury claims for Armed Forces clients, that we are happy to recommend you to. We are a formidable team dedicated to securing compensation for injuries you should not have endured.

We only partner with the best law firms in the country, and all claims are No-Win, No-Fee. This means that you only pay legal fees if your claim is successful.

If your claim is unsuccessful, you will not be liable for a penny.

Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) Claims

Men and women who are serving or have served in the United Kingdom Armed Forces are at significant risk of developing noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) during their service. This condition is primarily caused by repeated exposure to loud noises encountered during training exercises and operational duties. Common sources of harmful noise include operating heavy machinery, participating in live and blank firing exercises, and working in close proximity to aircraft.

Non-Freezing Cold Injury (NFCI) Claims

Those serving in the British Army usually sustain a non-freezing cold injury (NFCI), also known as ‘trench foot’ or ‘cold weather injury’, on winter training exercises, often carrying out duties such as sentry duty, manning an observation post or setting an ambush.

NFCIs usually affect the body’s extremities, such as hands and feet.

Who are Veterans for Veterans?

We are a UK organisation made up of former members of the Armed Forces who understand the long-term impact military service can have. Our team brings together experience from across the services, with a shared focus on supporting veterans in a clear, structured, and respectful way.

Will claiming affect my employment status or my future military career?

Your claim remains confidential, safeguarding your privacy. If the claim does proceed to litigation then the result of this is public however you would always be notified before this happens. If you’re currently employed, it would be unlawful for your employer to penalise you for pursuing a claim against your employer.

Will claiming affect my ability to get a job in the future?

If you’re able to meet the requirements of the job, pursuing a claim shouldn’t impede your prospects for future employment.

How much compensation could I receive for a military hearing loss claim?

We cannot assure you of any specific entitlement amount. Historically, cases have resulted in settlements that vary from around £4,500 and more complex cases exceeding £10,000. Some cases can be considerably higher, with complex cases warranting compensation of £60,000 plus. The final settlement largely hinges on the unique circumstances of each individual case.

Will I pay more to come through Veterans for Veterans

You will pay the same 25% plus insurance premium regardless of if we assist you with your claim or if you go directly to the law firm, the law firm does not charge you for our service.

Will you be able to access all of my HMRC records or report to HMRC?

Our partner law firm will request your authorisation to obtain your employment records from HMRC. This step is solely intended to verify your work history, ensuring alignment with the dates provided in your claim.

I no longer live in the UK. Can I claim?

Your case will be evaluated individually based on its specific merits and the availability of a local audiology test. If your case is strong and there are no issues in scheduling a test in your area, your legal representatives will arrange a test for you.

Fantastic what this group of veterans is doing to support the military community. Every thing was quick and painless.

My hearing has been bad for two decades but always put it down to age deterioration. VFV arranged a hearing test for me and it displayed all the symptoms of MNIHL, so they helped me get my claim in. Thanks guys
